- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 6 medium), 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (add 2 teaspoons extra flour if using frozen), ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
